Cinema of the World

Bernardo Bertolucci made The Spider's Stratagem in 1970, the same year of his masterpiece The Conformist. The two films share much thematically, both probing the enigmas surrounding the phenomenon of fascism in Italy and presenting their stories through cryptic, creative editing. But where The Conformist explores a psychological aspect of fascism, The Spider's Stratagem further probes the movement's ambiguities. Set in a small Italian town as opposed to the big city of The Conformist, Stratagem questions the influence of fascism in a more remote environment, showing how the movement managed to both inspire detractors and spread a psychology of fear of such opposition.
